lalatenduM: configure.ac sets the GEOREP_EXTRAS_SUBDIR variable to "geo-rep" or an empty string "", the extras/Makefile.am has a list of subdirectories it needs to precess, and $(GEOREP_EXTRAS_SUBDIR) is in that list

lalatenduM: when extras/Makefile.am goes through the list, it will include the geo-rep subdir in case GEOREP_EXTRAS_SUBDIR="geo-rep", otherwise the list of subdirs just contains an empty value (skipped)

ndevos: close having a flush, is because the fd is open till a release is done (i.e the fd ref goes to 0), so close does a flush (or there is another very good reason that I seem to recollect Avati mentioning to me a while back)

ndevos: glfs_h_creat should close the fd. i.e destroy it, as it gets rid of the ref that it holds on it, which should eventually trigger the relase and hence the brick should also close its fd, that is correct

ndevos: I was playing around with fd relase for another patch, so I am reasonably sure of this, just need to connect the dots once again (i.e release on client ending up in a relase on the brick process)
